"So, that guy who called himself Jack the Ripper was one of the Revival (Revival-Clones) from the West-Conquer Faction you mentioned earlier..."
After Jack's corpse was dealt with and the construction team began repairing the floor tiles and courtyard wall, Kure Erioh and Kure Shiba arrived with the people from the Kure Clan and the Kure Family's main house.
Reian Kure and Fuki Kure also returned.
As for Karura, since becoming Erina's bodyguard, she has mostly stayed by Erina's side and didn't participate in the Kure Clan and Kure Family's campaign against the Western faction this time.
"Yes, that's exactly right... I'm ashamed to say that we talked about launching a campaign against the Western faction before, but the result is that we were completely defeated and even driven away."
Kure Erioh shook his head and sighed.
"It's truly embarrassing... but we really have no choice. Among those Revival from the Western faction, besides the Jack you took down, there are even those who call themselves Lü Bu and Adam. So..."
Kure Erioh's gaze fell on Jaden.
"Yuki, could I ask you to help us?"
Hearing Kure Erioh say this, Jaden frowned.
"I'm too lazy to help you... but since those guys actively came to provoke me, teaching them a lesson is fine..."
Saying this, Jaden looked at Erina.
To be honest, it would be no problem for him to go to the Empire himself and wipe out that Western faction, but what about Erina's situation during that time?
Jaden had this thought, and Erina could tell.
"Jaden, you don't have to worry about me-Karura went to pick someone up earlier, so I gave her the day off. Also, starting tomorrow, my second bodyguard will also begin work."
"Second bodyguard?"
Jaden was a little confused, and Erina smiled.
"Yes, my second bodyguard-and you know this person. It's Mukuro Ikusaba."
...
Since Junko Enoshima died, the Ultimate Despair group has disbanded.
The remaining members of Ultimate Despair and Izuru Kamukura were categorized under the arrangement of the Togami family.
Some who were not dangerous and were merely forced to act with Junko Enoshima were given simple guidance and arranged new lives. Others who were very dangerous were sent with Izuru Kamukura to a mental asylum named Arkham, invested in and built by the Togami family and named by Jaden, to undergo recovery treatment.
However, not all members of Ultimate Despair ended up like that.
Tsumugi Shirogane, now going by the name Tsumugi Kure, follows Fuki Kure and has become her assistant under the guise of being Fuki Kure's closest friend!
And then there's Mukuro Ikusaba, the inside agent who turned over a new leaf...
Although she was initially devastated and lost after learning about her sister's death, she gradually started to recover after a few days.
Then, Erina took notice of her fighting ability and proposed recruiting her as her second bodyguard.
Naturally, Mukuro Ikusaba initially disagreed.
It wasn't that she disliked Erina, but mainly that she didn't want any more contact with Jaden. Also, although she was confused after Junko Enoshima's death, she didn't really have any intention of working for Totsuki.
Then Erina invited her to eat three meals.
After that, the matter was settled.
-She will start tomorrow!
Salary wasn't important; just pocket money would suffice. As for accommodation, she could manage on her own if none was arranged-the main thing was being fed!
No more confusion; being able to eat the food made by Erina was all that mattered!
"So, she agreed just like that?"
Fuki Kure, who was listening to Erina discuss this on the side, widened her eyes, finding it a bit hard to believe this was true. But when she saw Karura, who was standing next to Erina, she fell silent.
Since there was a precedent here, there didn't seem to be anything left to disbelieve... But you two-one is a Kure Clan assassin, and the other is a famous mercenary-do you both have to be this easy to get along with!?
Fuki Kure complained inwardly, while Erina smiled and nodded. Then she slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at Fuki Kure.
"It's understandable to be curious, but my cooking has improved even more during this time-since Fuki, you're back today, why don't I personally cook and let all of you experience my current culinary skills?"
Hmm...
Erina was kindly inviting them, and the invitation was to taste delicious food, not to do anything dangerous... but Fuki Kure somehow felt a strange sense of fear!
She looked at Karura's eyes lighting up when she heard that Erina's cooking had improved, saw Hisako's face flushing unnaturally next to Erina, and saw Tsumugi next to her practically drooling, lost in thought...
Why the fear?
This matter would strengthen her relationship with Erina and Jaden, allow her to eat delicious food, and posed no danger... three good things combined should result in something that would make her incredibly happy, but why did she feel like Erina was pointing a gun at her head right now?
This...
Fuki Kure subconsciously wanted to decline.
But before she could speak, she saw Karura's intense gaze, Tsumugi's slightly expectant gaze, and Jaden's gaze, which intentionally or unintentionally drifted over...
Agh!
-She could only agree...
"Sure... it's been a while since I've had your cooking, and I'm quite looking forward to it..."
Fuki Kure agreed with a dry smile.
Erina's smile also became even happier at this moment.
"Then, Hisako, please go ask Mr. Dojima to prepare the ingredients for me. Tell him I will personally cook and host a banquet tonight-and..."
Erina said this, and her gaze fell on Jaden.
Unlike how she usually looked at Jaden, her gaze now carried a hint of nostalgia and a hint of... fighting spirit!
"Jaden, do you still remember what I told you a long time ago?"
Hearing Erina's question, Jaden paused, then nodded.
"I do remember-you always lost to me in Shokugeki, and every time you lost, you extended the time you have to cook for me. If I'm not mistaken, barring any accidents, you'd probably have to cook for me until you die of old age in your eleventh lifetime to pay it off... and if you win, everything is forgiven."
Jaden suddenly smiled as he said this.
"However, we don't have to be so strict about it. If you feel tired, I can cook in the future!"
Hiss-
Hearing Jaden say this, Erina waved her hands repeatedly.
She definitely didn't want to eat instant noodles continuously...
"Jaden, there's no need for you to cook-but I said before that even if you win against me a hundred times, a thousand times, I will win it back eventually... I don't care if you can make other people's food taste bad. If it's the current me... maybe I can surpass that power of yours, too."
Erina showed a very confident smile as she said this.
"So Jaden, let's take this opportunity to have a Shokugeki at tonight's banquet, for old times' sake!"
